四分律行事鈔資持記 1.1063

1.1063

次明別法說戒中，初文。律因佛制眾僧說戒，一比丘住處，不知云何，白佛，故制。調度者，律云：敷坐具、具水瓶、洗足瓶、然燈火、具舍羅等。待客來者，疏云：出家之人，漂泊無侶；何有定住，是我所也；遊化觀方，縱任自在；隨所弘道，不局坊寺；望剎為居，四海為食故也。

Next, in clarifying poṣadha by individual procedures, the first passage. In the Vinaya, because the Buddha instituted the poṣadha for the assembly of monks, at a dwelling with a single bhikṣu who did not know what to do, he reported it to the Buddha, who therefore instituted it. "Apparatus" means, as the Vinaya states: laying out seatings, preparing water jars, foot-washing jars, lighting lamps, and preparing śalākā, and so forth. "Waiting for visiting guests to arrive" means, as the Commentary states: "Those who have left home wander without companions; how could there be a fixed dwelling that is 'mine'? Wandering and transforming, observing the regions, untrammeled and unfettered; propagating the Way wherever they go, not restricted to any quarter or temple; taking monasteries as their abode and the four seas as their sustenance."
